Background:
Seed is the main element to grow the crop and without quality seed desired production is hampered. In a study it is found that, at least 70 % farmer use the local seed and it’s germination percentage is not up to the mark, resulting the final production is reduced significantly. Because of this the producer loose interest in agricultural crop production/ business. In order to mitigate this problems TMSS took initiatives to establish a quality seed farm from which the local farmers will use the improve quality seed so that they can increase up their crop production. TMSS Barket Seed Sector is the result of that initiative.
